So to get a little background I pick up a new motherboard and CPU (i5 2500) also a kickass fan instead of the stock one. I installed all of them fairly easily and then I go to boot it up and start to mess around a bit and message friends etc. About 15 minutes after booting it up, it just dies on me... I've spent all day trying whatever I can but it seems pointless. I even tried to just reformat but it dies in a 15 minute period. Then I have to unplug it and wait another 15 or so minutes until I can try something again. I dusted it all out while installing the motherboard. I've also thought of another few reasons. My power supply is consiberably on the Cheap end (480 watts); also my computer seems a bit slow in loading at times during the 15 minute period. It goes into retard mode and takes ages to load simple software. Therefore it might be a problem with the disk itself but that's just a guess as good as any. Note: my temps seem to be fine and normal.

Specs: i5 2500, nvidia 750ti, 8 gb ram, 480 watt power supply



I know the details might seem vague but I appreciate the help. Also sorry for any grammar I'm typing on my phone.
